OYSTER OF MY EYE!



So often, pearls can so matronly--something you misght fin stored in your great-aunt Martha's trunk. Not true for this Chanel neckalce. Crafted with a multi-strand of multi-colored pearls, the tassle in the back adds a bit of glamour and sexiness better suited for a nightclub than the old folks home.

ADRIENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNE!!!

Ok, ok--I know. This might be a bit much for summer. But, as you know, we've never been ones to encourage sensibility over style. And while you may not want to wear this to the beach with your sister's kids, as a bikini cover-up at a rooftop bar-b-que--it's a guaranteed photo-op. Trust.

BACK IN FULL EFFECT!!!

So, as you imagine, our NYC pop-up this weekend was a smashing success. It was such a pleasure to meet and greet all our east coast clients, talk shop (literally and figuratively), sip a cocktail (or two) and get to know you. In fact, the event was so fantastic that the event's been blogged, written and up and posted all over the wires. Here's a few of our write-ups (plus a rave review for this blog from the sundance channel!) Check 'em out!

SAIL AWAY!

Ok, nothing says fun-in-the-sun like a nautical motif. It's an iconic theme that all the majors have rocked, from Bridget Bardot to Jean Paul Gaultier. We know that you must have stacks and piles of striped boating tees, fisherman sweaters, and canvas caps. That's why we tugged (get it? tee hee) out these Prada lucite nautical pins. They'd be oh-so-adorable pinned on a sweater, but personally, I'd use them as cardigan closures (forget about buttons!) with a long cardi wrapped just below the waist or pinned willy-nilly about the long shoulder straps on a beloved leather tote.

*Prada Nautical Pins. Priced at $250 each. For further information or to purchase, please contact: lizzy@decadestwo.com

JUST LOOKING OUT FOR EVERYONE!

OK--so we know we've been hyping our SATC/NYC pop-up pretty hard. And we know that some of you may have well . . . hard feelings that you can't attend. We understand and certainly don't expect each and everyone of you that lives say, west of the Hudson, to hop on a plane and head to the Big Apple this weekend (of course, if you did--we'd love to have you. The more the merrier!)

Don't worry. We've got you. Christos and the Decadestwo team have curated an amazing collection of SATC-inspired wear that we're going to post on Hautelook.com starting tomorrow. That way, you can still shop in spirit.

PRETTY IN PINK!

Now that summer is here, we know you've been cruising Rodeo in search of that perfect summer dress. You're probably thinking of something pretty, printed, and polished. But whatever will you wear with your fab find? Summer calls for fashion's best and brightest colors. You can get away with being more frilly, more flouncy, and more feminine. That's why we picked these Christian Dior platform heels with a sqaure chunky heel. They're fashion forward without being too over the top. And the chain detailing gives them a bit of an edge so they aren't too girly. Terrific for your tootsies!

HELLO CHANEL-O!

5 is a magic number. Just ask CoCo Chanel, who allegedly was told by a fortune teller that the number five held secret powers for the young seamstress. Who knows if the legend is steeped in truth, but Chanel did name the fragrance that launched a thousand credit cards after the number. Incidentally, the perfume she chose was the 5th scent brought to her to sample.

In honor of the fabulous French house, we've decided to post a Chanel collection in May (the 5th month!) to celebrate the iconic designer starting tomorrow on Hautelook. Christos Garkinos and the Decadestwo team have curated the chicest collection of Chanel—exclusively for our HauteLook members—featuring seminal styles such as fantasy bouclĂ© tweeds, dazzling deco dresses, super soft cashmere cardigans, chic costume jewelry, and heavenly handbags. Vive le Cinq!

HOLY HERMES!

Ok, as far as accessories are concerned, a Hermes scarf is absolutely essential. So when I spotted this scarf-come-shawl-come-blouse, I just had to post it. Live to love it, ladies!

FAB IN FORD!

There are certain pieces that a gal buys on a whim, perhaps she'll wear it once or twice during a certain season but then is banished to relative obscurity, never to be worn again. And then there are others that will serve her well, enjoying a constant rotation through her wardrobe through the years. And we think this Tom Ford-era handbag is just one of those pieces. Crafted with traditional Ford dark gypsy glamour, this bag feature a front fur flap that suggests a louche luxury and works with any outfit from a long sheer hippie frock to jeans, thigh high boots and a mini moto jacket! Shazaam!
* YSL Tom Ford era handbag. Priced at $3200.

SILVER MEDAL!

We miss Alexander McQueen and we know you do too. His untimely passing left a hole in our hearts. So, from time to time, we'll be posting pieces from the seminal designer. Just 'cause. We know that you all have many summer events on the horizon. And while we like to find of gorgeous gowns for our gorgeous gals, I think that this show-stopping silver pleated McQueen skirt is an amazing alternative to a traditional frock. I'd pair it with a simple tee (a la Sharon Stone at the Oscars--wassup Gap?), a pair of ballet flats and chunky costume necklace--think Chanel. Grab a chic lil' clutch and you're out the door!
